Andrew Painter Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter allowed six runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out seven against Triple-A Omaha. Painter continued his rough August and was roughed up a bit in this one despite missing some bats. He racked up 18 whiffs on 46 swings, leaning heavily on his changeup, which produced 13. The poor outing has amounted to a 7.77 ERA, 1.93 WHIP, and a 27:16 K:BB in 24 1/3 innings for the month. The right-hander frequently struggles against left-handed hitters, giving up a .287 batting average. The top prospect has high-quality stuff and the ability to strike batters out, but the consistency with his command isn't there at the moment. He could still be in consideration for an end-of-season promotion, but it seems less likely.

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter was able to bounce back in his most recent outing at Triple-A. After allowing a hefty nine hits and seven earned runs in his outing on August 10 against Scranton Wilkes/Barre, Painter tossed five innings of three-run ball (two earned) en route to picking up the victory over Buffalo. In this start, Painter allowed four hits and held a modest 5:3 K:BB. While his command continued to be an issue in this start, seeing him bounce back was a positive sign. Since the start of July, Painter has struggled to find his footing at Triple-A as he has carried a 6.37 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP. Despite his struggles, Painter remains a top pitching prospect to stash as he could find a path to the majors very soon, with Zack Wheeler recently hitting the injured list due to blood clots.

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter has had a rough stretch at Triple-A. In his last start on Sunday against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the former first-round pick allowed nine hits and seven earned runs through 4 1/3 innings. In his previous outing on August 5, Painter also struggled serving up five runs with a 4:4 K:BB through four innings of work against Scranton as well. However, before this rough two-game skid, Painter held a solid 3.12 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP over his last three outings, which suggested he may have been nearing the final stages of his development. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress at Triple-A as the Phillies could look to promote him to strengthen their rotation during the final months of the season. While he has struggled recently, he is still a strong stash option in standard formats, given his high strikeout upside.

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter allowed two runs on one hit and three walks while striking out four across six innings against Triple-A Norfolk. Painter conceded just one hit all night, with it being a solo home run to Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle, who is out on a rehab assignment. He generated whiffs on all six pitches in his arsenal, totaling nine on 31 swings. He also consistently induced weak contact with an 82.6 MPH average exit velocity. The right-hander wasn't in the zone as often as you'd like at 45 percent, but still produced a quality start in 76 pitches. It was easily his best start of June, where he has struggled overall with a 5.91 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and an 18:5 K:BB in 21.1 innings. The Phillies' top prospect has things to clean up, but could debut in the majors as a starter or reliever late in the season.

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter will join the Philly rotation "if we have the need and if he is throwing well at that time. He isn't guaranteed a spot in a rotation at any point," according to the team's president of baseball operations, Dave Dombrowski. He mentioned earlier this year that a July timeframe would be what they'd be looking at for a call-up for Painter, but it hinges on the rotation needs, and right now, they do not have one in his view. Not only that, Painter hasn't been pitching well as of late, allowing five home runs while posting a 7.04 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP, and an 8.22 K/9 over his last three starts. There's still a good chance Philadelphia's top-ranked prospect will make a debut sometime this year, but it might take an injury at this point. The 6-foot-7 righty remains one of the top prospect stashes in fantasy leagues due to his upside and environment.

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter allowed three earned runs on six hits, including two home runs, but did not walk a batter and struck out four in five innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. The Phils' top prospect (MLB No. 9) began the year with a 3.18 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, a 20.5 percent K-BB%, and a 0.95 HR/9 through his first eight starts (28 1/3 IP), but over his last eight starts (38 2/3 IP), the righty has posted a 6.05 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, a 15.2 percent K-BB%, and a 2.33 HR/9. Hopefully he's just working on some things, and these are the growing pains of life in Triple-A, as the 6-foot-7 hurler was expected to make his major league debut this season. That still might happen for the former first-rounder, and if he lives up to expectations, then he should remain a stash candidate for those in need of pitching help in deep and NL-only leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter allowed five runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three in 5.1 innings against Triple-A Syracuse. The 6'7" right-hander allowed a good amount of hard contact with an average exit velocity of 93.9 MPH. Painter has struggled to limit damage recently, as he has now allowed nine runs across 9.1 innings so far through two starts in July. He still owns a solid 26.3 percent strikeout rate for the year, but that's a decent step down from the gaudy numbers he has previously posted in the minor leagues. While the overall numbers don't look great, Painter is still one of the top arms in the minor leagues. There's a chance we see him up with the big league club late in the season, where his fantasy value will depend on his usage.

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter allowed four runs on seven hits and one walk with seven strikeouts across five innings against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 6'7" right-hander racked up 16 whiffs on 52 swings for the night, but ran into some trouble in the fourth inning when he gave up all four runs. He filled up the strike zone, however, with 65 of his 95 pitches going for strikes. Painter hasn't been quite as dominant at Triple-A compared to some of the lower levels he mowed through, as he holds a 4.57 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and a 52:19 K:BB in 45.1 innings in 2025. The 22-year-old has great stuff while still developing his command. The Phillies' top pitching prospect could be called up to help reinforce the bullpen with the big league club later on in the season.

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter will be on the roster for the MLB Futures Game during the All-Star break, but he will not be pitching. The Phillies want to keep Painter on their plan, according to manager Rob Thomson. Painter is still on the comeback trail after having Tommy John surgery in July of 2023, and although he has already made 13 starts with Single-A Clearwater and Triple-A Lehigh Valley this year, the Phillies are taking it slow with the No. 5 overall prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline. The 22-year-old former first-rounder in 2021 should already be stashed in all dynasty/keeper leagues, and he could become a priority addition in redraft leagues as well if he joins Philly's starting rotation in the second half of 2025. Painter currently has a 4.18 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 57:19 K:BB in 51 2/3 innings on the farm.

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter tossed 4 2/3 innings of two-run ball in his latest outing with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday evening. Facing Triple-A Buffalo, the top prospect in the Philadelphia system struck out five batters and allowed only one walk. Since allowing six runs on June 4, Painter has begun to turn the corner at Triple-A, tossing 14 1/3 innings to the tune of a 2.51 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 16:7 K:BB. The 22-year-old opened the campaign with Low-A Clearwater but needed only 11 1/3 innings to prove he was ready to join Triple-A. While Painter has missed the previous two seasons recovering from Tommy John, the top prospect appears to be increasing in workload and remains on track to join the majors early in the second half. He remains a strong stash option in all 12-team leagues.
